To those who think we’ve discovered everything:
May I present to you the Luzon Dragon? From Cryptomundo:
A dragon-sized, fruit-eating lizard (genus Varanus) that was ethnoknown to locals but unknown to Western science has been discovered on the northern Philippines island of Luzon. Scientists have confirmed it as a new species, on Tuesday, April 6, 2010.
And to the cryptozoology naysayers, I say “suck it.” If we could have missed a six foot long lizard well into the year 2010, we could absolutely have missed things like Sasquatch, the mokele mbembe, the Loch Ness monster, Jersey Devil, etc. Stop being so closed-minded!
